Run SQL Scripts Using Operations Navigator
by Kevin Vandever
Shannon O'Donnell has written two articles on Operations Navigator ("Five Cool Things You Can Do
with OpsNav" and "Five More Cool Things You Can Do With OpsNav") that show how to do some, well,
cool things using OpsNav. Not to be left out, I decided to share my own cool OpsNav technique. So here
goes. If you don't have interactive SQL installed on your iSeries, or you simply don't want to use a green
screen to run SQL statements (that's so passé), you can still do so, and so much more, from the comfort of
your GUI desktop using OpsNav.

Success or Failure in Qshell Scripts
by Ted Holt
All Qshell commands update a numeric exit status upon completion. The exit status indicates whether the
command behaved normally or not. You can use the exit status for making decisions, for controlling
looping, and for testing and recovering from errors. In this article, you will learn about the exit status: how
to test it, how to set it, how to use it to make decisions, and how to control loops with it. If you are not sure
how to write a Qshell script, please read my articles "Getting Started with Qshell
Scripts" and "Working with Parameters and Variables in Qshell Scripts."

Simplify JSP Applications with JavaBeans, Part 1
by Richard Shaler
Separate business logic from presentation. Application developers hear this over and over. You may
understand the concept, but how do you apply this design approach to a Java Web application that uses
Java ServerPages technology? Although JSP technology does facilitate dynamic Web application
development, it doesn't necessarily promote the separation of business logic from presentation. However,
incorporating JavaBeans into your JSP application can help you meet this worthy design approach.

JavaScript: Back to Basics
by Shannon O'Donnell
Static HTML Web pages are fun to create, but once you start using them you'll quickly
realize that a static Web page by itself just isn't very useful. In the last issue you learned a
little bit of JavaScript to enable Web page printing. In this issue, we're going back to the
basics of JavaScript. In future articles, you'll discover ways to use JavaScript to make
your Web pages stand up and sing!

Tools from iSeries Java Toolbox: Pinging iSeries Services
by Kevin Vandever
If your IT shop is anything like the one I work in, the iSeries is only one of many platforms used to run the
business. However, it is still probably the primary platform in your shop, and as such it contains the bulk of
the business data and logic. Applications on other platforms depend on that business data and logic, so they
require the iSeries to be available as much as possible. I'm going to show you a simple way, using Java, to
monitor iSeries services, which will help you to discover potential connectivity and resource availability
problems before your production applications do.
